Just wanted to give a quick update. That last post of self-deprication wasn't very nice....but it's easy to do when you're on a weight loss journey. So many ups and downs - it's hard to stay positive.

I haven't taken the Body Attack class again. I'm going to wait. Lose a little more weight and try again.

I've taken Body Pump 3 times in the past week and have been doing my regular workouts. No weight loss, but I still feel pretty good. My legs are a little sore from the Body Pump + running class.

I'm just gonna keep trudging along. But with 45 pounds gone and I've only lost 1 pound in the past 2 months, I need to do something to change - and that something has got to be to cut down on food. I don't gorge myself like I used to, or eat as much, but I still eat what I want in smaller portions. I also have more fruit and cut down on rice/noodles. I have a soy joy bar once a day for a snack and I also have almonds. And I realize that eating like that along with exercise is great for maintaining...but if I want to lose more weight, I have to really tweak what I'm consuming. A time for being more liberal with food will come after the weight comes off.

Agh. This is the hard part for me, such a foodie. I need to be small about this and do baby steps, as with everything else, so I don't get overwhelmed. Where do I start?
Hmm.
